All very cool designs worthy of making a custom repro. Can't wait to see them.
BTW, I see only one shearling jacket.

This is just part of the rackBTW, I see only one shearling jacket.
You made me wonder: 90 years from now, what will restless men (and women) with too much money to spend buy when they're browsing high quality leather jackets. Styles from the 1930's? Or styles from 2023... which are basically styles from the 1930s to 1950's.
Bingo, and Regius.The first two are epic!!! The next…move along sir. Lol. The last looks cool too.
FL and Thedi doing the work?
Bingo, and Regius.
After using water to shape a leather jacket collar, should I condition it once it's dry? It feels a bit stiff but not really dry. I stupidly conditioned kt before deciding to shape the collar, if that changes anything. I soaked the collar pretty good in the tub for a few minutes, fully submerged.
It's not new, but the leather doesn't feel especially dry really. I just don't want it to crack on me or anything.No need to, if the jacket is new. Leather that's been soaked through will inevitably feels stiffer once it dries up but if you work it with your hands for a bit, it'll revert to its original state. That's what she said, etc.
I could be wrong but it looks like bar tacks reinforcing stress points at the end of the back gussets.Any idea on the purpose of these 2 sets of stitches on the lower back of this big Smith jacket I've got coming?

Isn't it cheaper to buy from Thedi directly, or weren't you looking at one of those thedi's?https://www.ubs-classics.de/
Has any non EU residents purchased from this store before? Do they deduct VAT for non EU buyers? Thanks.
Yes it's a Thedi. UBS would be 46 euro less (if) without the VAT. But more importantly UBS has it in stock. Thedi doesn't have this one in stock in his store so he would have to make me a new one from scratch.
